Commerce – Buildings at Texas A&M University-Commerce will soon be receiving a slight makeover to better assists the campus community in the event of an emergency. Over the next few days University officials will be installing 9-1-1 addresses on campus buildings. According to Executive Director of Facilities at A&M-Commerce David McKenna, these new four digit numbers will aid emergency vehicles in finding locations on campus quicker. McKenna says most buildings on campus don't have a specific street number, so installing these 9-1-1 numbers will make it easier on emergency crews.

The numbering process is done through the 9-1-1 coordinating office in Hunt County. McKenna says the aluminum numbers are purchased by the University. Designation of those numbers is then assigned by the 9-1-1 coordinator. Numbers should be installed on all campus buildings within the next few days.
